What are your pearls?

What is your pearl?


Pearls are precious to us because they are beautiful and valuable. To God, we are His pearls and He values us so very much.  The homily today was about the pearl and Solomon . Solomon wanted to treat God’s people as pearls.  The priest asked what is your pearl?


One of my greatest pearls happened to be standing right before me. My daughter was an altar server today, and it never gets old watching her serve Mass. She moves with such grace, reverence and respect for God.  She and my son are both pearls, and I'd do anything for them.


My husband is also my pearl. Marriage is tough especially with work and children.  Finding time, keeping romance alive and actions are so important. Hearing I love you is crucial and the actions follow up are things I try to do daily.


Teaching is my pearl because it's a gift from God.  I teach daily to my children and students in Church. I teach by my writings and am now trying to find a job teaching.


I treasure my pearls and strive not to take any for granted. I will try each day to live out my life for my pearls.  What are your pearls?

Shootings in Oregon because of being Christian

Yesterday 10 people were  killed because they were Christian and others were wounded. This all happened in Oregon at Umpqua Community College.

But it's very hard to do.  Imagine how hard it is for God to forgive for the most heinous crimes and actions to those he loves million times a day. The guy who did this wanted to be in the limelight but why over such a cowardly act? He killed people who were completely defenseless and not knowing anything would happen. If you want to be in the limelight, make it for something awesome and brave. For example...

Divorced Catholics are welcome by the Catholic Church

Pope Francis  is happy to make something clear: people who  divorce  and remarry in a civil marriage are not excommunicated. This simply means that they can still receive Communion during Mass. The couple should be encouraged to attend Mass and bring their family. Pope Francis addressed this question on Wednesday, August 5 in his talks. Children are the most important concern to Pope Francis. He realizes that divorce happens and being raised in a home that has constant arguing isn't a good thing to children. Pope Francis acknowledged that divorce isn't a thing to do for trivial reasons and ultimately needs to be the last option. However, if a divorce happens, and remarriage occurs civilly, they need to be welcomed in  church . Pope Francis explained that the Catholic Church should be seen as a mother. Mothers see the best in someone no matter the circumstances. A mother loves unconditionally and will not turn their child away because of mistakes. Mothers are quick to...
